Clint Butler

Animator/Director/Series Director

I am a seasoned animator and director based in Vancouver, BC with over 20 years of experience in creating animated content for kids. Throughout my career, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects across action, comedy, and preschool genres, bringing stories to life with a keen eye for quality, attention to detail, and creativity.

As an episodic director, I ensure each episode is delivered on time and on budget, while maintaining the highest standards of entertainment. In my role as a series director, I oversee the entire production process—contributing to and approving every stage from concept development to final delivery. This includes oversight on scripts, designs, animatics, look-development, casting, voice recording direction, music, visual effects, sound design, final lighting, rendering, compositing, and color grading.

I am passionate about collaborating with talented creative teams, both in-studio and with production partners. Every project offers a chance to learn and evolve my skills, and I enjoy sharing my insights and experience with the team members I work alongside.

My work has been featured on major platforms and networks, including Disney, Netflix, Cartoon Network, YouTube, CBC, BBC, Teletoon, Family Chanel and YTV.
